December 30, 1915.
Mr. George M . Jones, Sec'y,
OberlineCollege, Oherlin, Ohio.
Dear Mr . Jones:-
I can say little more I think about tie matter
of the degree, whether it be honorary or pro causa,
but I remember the circumstances very well. I was
teaching at the time at McKendree College. I held
the position of a regular Professor in the institution.
I did not ask for the Master a degree, but the of the college, Dr. Phillips, did so apply. I remember
distinctly that the work I had done after leaving college
was carefully enumerated — it was this fact I suppose,
and the fact that my diploma was never marked honorary,
that made me think the degree was not honorary. I have
another degree which is honorary, but the certificate is so
marked very plainly across its face. Are not the honor-ary
degrees given from Oberlin marked in the sam e way?
Very truly yours,
IM
